    Dressing in drag and putting on a comedy show isn’t the same as a “drag show”.

    yes it is?

    you’re thinking of burlesque. Burlesque has implied nudity, drag shows are comedic.

      From the link @cypher linked at this post https://lemmy.world/comment/2475000.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_show

      A drag show is a form of entertainment performed by drag artists impersonating men or women, typically in a bar or nightclub. Shows can range from burlesque-style, adult themed nightclub acts to all-ages events with sing-alongs and story times.

      Using sources that people have linked AGAINST me… It shows the same thing I’ve been talking about. Just because all of them aren’t this way doesn’t mean that it’s magically okay to do as a mandated corporate event.

        Just because you don’t highlight ‘all ages events’ doesn’t mean it’s not part of the quote

          It’s in the quote as a RANGE of possibilities. Meaning that the show ranges from NR18 to PG. The fact that half of the range is inappropriate for corporate events is literally sufficient evidence that it’s not suited for a MANDATED corporate event.

            Is going to a movie theater inappropriate for a corporate event? After all, movies range from NC17 to G also. You might say no, you can choose what movie to see and it’s simple to pick one that’s not graphic and appropriate for work. And I would say, it’s the same way with drag shows.
